Sen. Max Baucus' office Monday denounced a widely viewed Internet video that suggested Baucus was drunk on the Senate floor last week, calling it an "untrue, personal smear" designed to attack Democrats' health-care reform legislation.

"This is beyond the pale, and this type of gutter politics has no place in the public sphere," said Baucus spokesman Ty Matsdorf.

Here's to Baucus, he's true blue...
He's a drunkard through and through.... so....

DRINK, chug-a-lug, chug-a-lug

At least 60 senators had to be bombed out of their minds to pass this train wreck.

Gee, Max. You sound upset.

Somebody call the Whambulance! This is SERIES.

I watched the video and I honestly couldn’t tell if he was drunk.

However, I could tell that his words claiming to have reached out to the Republicans and seeking bipartisanship were wholesale lies. So maybe claiming drunkedness is a good defense for his empty words.

I thought that Wild Irish Rose would be more his speed.

Really goes down so smooth,
Really puts you in the groove.

Yeah, now that you mention it, I guess it is not so easy to tell a drunk RAT from a sober one. Neither makes sense.

I still think he was punch drunk.

He would know about the gutter, no doubt having spent some time passed out drunk there...

Are there any tapes or videos to compare with this one?

That Night Train is a mean wine.
